The numbers game

But you started at 1. You should have started at 0 now that we acknowledge that it exists - or perhaps doesn't but is too useful for our numbering systems.

When you get to infinity then you can use the infinity symbol.

If I ever get bored of it I'll make it my last post

Is there a 'no repeated objects' rule?

I hope you don't mean prices.

'cos I've got a nice hand-written one for later.

Or door numbers? Or bins? I think we'll have to be a bit flexible or this might take years.

 

[Spion]

I'm gonna get away from numerals very soon on this.

 

[fractionMan]

no obvious 'that's the same as the last one' is the only real rule.

 

[Sweet FA]

I didn't mean any one thing in particular; just asking

IIRC, There are permanent distance markers (which used to be in miles, furlongs and chains . . . probably not any more), gradients are marked on special posts, signals all have a number and area code, bridges are numbered in sequence and by distance too.

The spray painted '30' was, I'm guessing, a temporary marking of 30m, while laying track or cable.
